Li Du didn't understand why Thompson was so hostile to himself, because he was close to Sophie? Doesn't this guy know that with his temperament, even without himself, Sophie would never be with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although they have only dated twice, Mr. Li already knows Thompson's personality very well, this is a rotten person and a garbage man!

The puzzle was to remain in his mind for the time being, and after temporarily stopping the bleeding for the youth, the ambulance quickly left and went to the hospital for a later operation.

Li Du did not follow, and Hans drove over to pick him up.

Soon after, Sophie called him and said in a relaxed tone: "The operation was successful, the broken blood vessel wall has been repaired, Lee, I want to thank you this time." ”

Li Du smiled: "There is no need to thank us, we worked together to save a life, which is a good thing." ”

Sophie was intrigued by his surgical skills and later inquired about the subject.

Li Du has no attainments in this area, and his ability to find the warhead and fill the hemostatic cotton is all due to the small worm.

He knew the truth that if he said too much, he would lose, so he cleverly changed the topic and shifted it to Meow.

So, around the little tiger cat, the two chatted happily for half an afternoon, until Sophie had surgery to do again.

In the evening, when they were about to have dinner, Hans answered the phone and said, "Man, new business has come to the door." ”

Li Du asked, "Where is the warehouse to be auctioned?"

Hans grinned, "This time it's not a warehouse, this time it's a variant warehouse auction, there's a book company that is going to file for bankruptcy, and we're going to clean up their warehouse." ”

"Which book company is going bankrupt? Oh my God, it's not going to be Borders, is it?" said Hannah, who poked her head out of the kitchen as she was cleaning up.

Hans shrugged his shoulders and pointed at her, "Guess right, it's the Borders bookstore, their warehouse in Phoenix is going to be cleared out." ”

Hannah said helplessly, "Damn, there are fewer and fewer bookstores, where are our kids going to read books in the future?" Dutton's, TheBodhiTree, they're bankrupt, and Barnes&Nobles, I remember when I was in school, that bookstore had a lot of branches. ”

"What's the use of having more branches? Sales aren't good, for example, did you go to these bookstores when you were in school?" asked Hans.

Hannah said, "Of course, of course I've been to ......."

"And then you read so many books, and in the end you didn't even get into a junior college?" interrupted Hans.

Hannah blushed and argued, "I—I went to the bookstore to buy books, but I read too little, but I know now, we need to read more books." ”

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, books are people's best friends." ”

Hans shook his head and said, "I don't understand this, don't tell me, the decline in bookstores is a national trend, not just Phoenix." However, if you want to buy books, there are bookstores that you can use, Stories, SkylightBooks, BookSoup, theLastBookstore, ......"

He was out and about every day, and he was so familiar with these stores that he blurted out the names of several book companies that were still in operation.

Li Du said: "Actually, none of these are needed, just one Amazon is enough." ”

After just a day's rest in Flagpole City, they drove again to Phoenix.

A few treasure hunters gathered in the lobby of the steampunk hotel, and when they saw them, they all waved and greeted each other:

"Hi Lee, Hans, and the beast, good morning guys. ”

"Phoenix is going to be looted again, and I hope you'll leave something behind this time. ”

"Lee, I heard you cleaned up that stupid cow of Lucas? That guy left Phoenix. ”

Li Du was surprised: "What are you cleaning up? We didn't clean him up, what's wrong?"

"That guy spent more than 50,000 yuan on a stone warehouse in Sedona, thinking there would be a pile of art in it, but it turned out to be all worthless rags, and his warehouse was snatched from you?" asked a strong treasure picker with a smile.

Li Du said: "Yes, is that warehouse worthless? I still want to take the risk, but their bid is too high, more than 50,000 yuan." ”

This news was very useful to him, he wanted to take over the stone carvings, study the material and time, and find out the secrets of the insects.

However, this is obviously impossible, and Lucas would rather smash the stone carving than give it to him.

Later, they sat down for a drink and talked about the book warehouse that was going to be auctioned this time.

Treasure pickers also lamented that there are fewer and fewer people reading books, and it is estimated that bookstores will gradually disappear in the future.

"It's nothing if the bookstore disappears, but if the indoor shopping mall disappears, damn it, it sucks. A treasure hunter named Bell sighed.

Historically, indoor shopping centers have been the most prosperous places in major cities in the United States, and the construction of BeverlyCenter in 1982 can be said to be the peak of Phoenix indoor shopping centers.

But today, with the rise of e-commerce and outdoor shopping centers, indoor shopping malls are no longer popular in many large cities in the United States.

E-commerce products are cheap, outdoor shopping malls are healthy, for example, if the woman wants to try on clothes when shopping, then the men can also enjoy a few minutes of sunshine.

Americans are increasingly focusing on health and happiness, and many of them have busy schedules and have to race against time to enjoy a healthy life.

"I think it would be bad if the palm trees were gone. Another treasure hunter said.

In Phoenix, the rows of palm trees along the road are a sight to behold and one of the city's symbols.

Unfortunately, starting in 2006, palm trees began to die due to old age and fungal diseases, and the town planning department would replace them with oak, mulberry or other trees.

There was a lively discussion about sports and architecture, which are now becoming rarer, and in the sport, the most common thing in Phoenix is horse racing.

Some creatures are also disappearing, such as the desert black widow spider, which Arizona is the main source of this spider, which is fierce, aggressive, venomous, and very frustrating.

In the past two years, according to entomologists, the number of desert black widows in Arizona has decreased, while some non-native brown widow spiders have increased.

Brown widow spiders are also venomous, but are relatively less aggressive and less threatening to humans.

Speaking of this, some treasure pickers rejoiced: "I don't miss the lack of spiders at all, my son Little Mark was once bitten by an abominable spider, damn it, that bastard almost killed Little Mark!"

A group of treasure pickers chatted casually, Li Du followed with a glass of cold beer, and then took Godzilla and Hans to the library of the book company, he still wanted to take a look in advance, looking for opportunities to pick up leaks.
